< Psalms 43 >
1 Right me, defend my cause against a pitiless people. From the crafty and crooked, O God, deliver me.
Dosudi mi pravo, Bože, i povedi parbu moju protiv čeljadi bezbožne, izbavi me od čovjeka zlobna i opaka!
2 For you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?
Jer ti si, Bože, zaklon moj: zašto me odbacuješ? Zašto obilazim žalostan, pritisnut dušmanima?
3 Send forth your light and your truth, let them be my guides: to your holy hill let them bring me, to the place where you live.
Pošlji svjetlost svoju i vjernost: nek' me vode, nek' me dovedu na tvoju svetu goru, u šatore tvoje!
4 Then will I go to God’s altar, to God my rejoicing; and with joy on the lyre I will praise you, O God, my God.
I pristupit ću Božjem žrtveniku, Bogu, radosti svojoj. Harfom ću slaviti tebe, Bože, o Bože moj!
5 Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.
Što si mi, dušo, klonula i što jecaš u meni? U Boga se uzdaj, jer opet ću ga slaviti, spasenje svoje, Boga svog!
